I hand wrote each and every one of these tab sheets. You may copy and share them freely. They will help you learn to play lap steel. It took me months to learn all these, and I didn't want to forget what I had learned, so I tabbed them out for easy reference.

This is a lap steel technique._* Make sure that the tip of the bar is exactly in the middle of strings 4 and 5 on the 10th fret when you do the bar slide. With pedals A and B down on the 10th fret, you do a forward bar slant and back off the B pedal as you do the bar slant.
